The Most Important Signs Symptom of Lupus

The ultimate systemic lupus symptom is chronic dehydration. It is actually better described by chronic fluid and electrolyte imbalance, less than bodies needs.

Why is this overlooked? Looking at the thinking of health car professionals can help us understand why such diseases are so misunderstood.

The Lupus & Auto Immune Disease Special Issue of Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, August / September 1999 had an editorial that is revealing of how many in the medical profession view auto immune diseases. More importantly, why this is the wrong view.

No Good Reason

There is no good reason to think the body will do anything for no good reason. Our bodies act or react to insult as well as to the care we provide.

What if modern medicine is wrong? Medicine has grouped various different signs and symptoms that happen at the same time as separate conditions. What if, in the case of Lupus, systemic lupus erythematosis or SLE, it is simply dehydration in multiple places in the body?

We are working with the theory that the conglomerate of conditions has been grouped under the label of Lupus. We are working with the theory that the conditions are all separate instances of fluid and electrolyte imbalance.

We have two oceans in our body, one inside our cells and one outside our cells. We have the potential for two types of dehydration.

Consider the Possibilities

Lupus affects several organ systems.

It is considered an autoimmune disease. The immune system attacks the very body it is supposed to protect.

Remember, these are variable for everyone experiencing Lupus.

Numerous types of antibodies are produced. Some attack membranes in the cells. Others attack membranes on the surface of the cells. Yet others can attack blood proteins, the insides of a blood cell.

The most affected areas are the skin, joints, lungs, brain and the blood vessels of the kidneys.

Swelling and redness in Lupus is often due to blood vessel being attacked by the antibodies.

The Most Under-diagnosed Cause of Lupus

To explain this in detail will require an in-depth consideration that will be covered later on a different page.

The simple explanation, our bodies serve and protect us. When we do not have enough water in our body, whether in the cells or outside the cells, our bodies react. One of the reactions is that of self preservation.

Our bodies have a navy that seek out and destroy any invaders by sea. When our cells become a threat by becoming unhealthy (due to dehydration), our body attacks the cells.

In Lupus, there are many different kinds of reactions and thus many different kinds of resulting signs symptom of Lupus.

By increasing the fluid and electrolytes to the body, we can restore balance.

Salt, Water and One More Thing

Important: When the body is attacking its self in Lupus, in order to reverse the process, it is essential to increase the insulin secretion. Although a raw food diet can be the optimal way to attain health, it is essential to have a diet initially high in sugar and carbohydrates. The increased insulin turns the switch from catabolism to building.

After the initial introduction of sugar, it is essential to eat foods high in the essential amino acids, essential fatty aids, green vegetables, fruits vitamins and minerals.

Final Thoughts

It should be noted that the signs symptoms of Lupus can be similar to other diseases. The similarity is so close, it could be confused for other disease processes.

The signs symptoms of lupus are similar to other conditions and diseases. Symptoms of lupus are similar to rheumatoid arthritis, blood disorders, fibromyalgia, diabetes, thyroid problems, Lyme disease, and a many heart, lung, muscle, and bone diseases.

Individually, the water cures protocols can help the various signs symptoms of Lupus. Collectively, it will help. Additional dietary considerations need to be considered.

It is amazing how so many things that are new to us were common knowledge in the past. One basic practice of the Water Cures protocol is to drink at least 30-45 minutes before and 2 1/2 hours after a meal. This is not a new thought however. Notice what a magazine from 1925 had to say...

"Drink plenty of water two hours after each meal; drink none just before eating; and a small quantity if any at meal time. Do not take a bath until two hours after eating a meal, nor closer than one hour before eating. Drink a full glass of water both before and after the bath." (Golden Age, Sept. 9, 1925, pp. 784-785)

We are not promoting increased salt intake. We are suggesting taking salt in amounts appropriate to your bodies needs, based on water needs. Our needs are not one size fits all.

Note: Do you have CHF or Kidney Disease? Then..... THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

There is more to Water Cures than just salt and water. Diet, 50 to 80% raw food is best and exercise play an important part.
And we believe the science is important too. Below is some of the research we found as to why Water Cures is the solution for better health.

Listen to your body. Do not use this if you are under a doctors care. Do not stop taking medications without consulting your doctor. If you are on medications, consult your doctor if you start the Water Cures Protocol as it may change your needs.

Hi, my name is Sharon. The webmaster of this site is my nurse, my personal water coach and my husband.

As this site was first being built, I had a headache and as usual took an Ibuprofen. Impatient for it to start working, I decided to try the Water Cures. I took a pinch of salt and a glass of water. Then I took a second pinch of salt and another glass of water. My headache was gone in less than 5 minutes.
